Unfilial Child

The morning came by quickly. Xu Zhuya got out of the bed. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw her swollen face and puffy eyes. She sat there for a while and then went to the washroom to freshen up.

Yan Rong had woken up before Xu Zhuya and was now cooking breakfast for both of them. Xu Zhuya came out of the bathroom wearing a bath robe. She opened her luggage and picked a yellow dress.

After dressing up she came down to the kitchen towards Yan Rong. When Yan Rong saw her coming down she felt envious of Xu Zhuya's beauty. She considered Xu Zhuya to be very beautiful but she never expected that Xu Zhuya would have a bad life like this. She felt really sad for her friend.

Xu Zhuya gave a light hit on her head and asked "Hey little head, what are you looking at? You already got a boyfriend. Don't stare at me like that."

Yan Rong knew it was one of her teasing so she played along with her "Ouch! That hurts, You dumbhead. I wasn't looking at you I was looking at the painting behind you. That was given by my boyfriend. And yeah my boyfriend got better looks than you, so please don't ever think about it."

Xu Zhuya knew she would say it like this only so she continued it once again "Ah I see, But there's no painting over there. Just tell me I'm beautiful. Trust me I won't say it to your boyfriend." She ended her sentence with a wink.

Yan Rong understood that she would never give up, so she said "Alright, alright you are beautiful. I give up. Stop winking at me. You are still the same. I wonder how your eyes are so good."

Xu Zhuya gave a light slap on her back and said "Hehe, you give up so easily. But you know what, you are beautiful than me as always. I have good eyes but you got good brains. You take care of the situation so easily."

Xu Zhuya stopped and said "I don't know how you can make a person so cheerful. You always have solutions for all problems. I'm so glad to have you, YanYan. Thank you so much for bringing me back alive." Xu Zhuya gave Yan Rong a hug and they both happily cooked breakfast together.

After having their breakfasts Xu Zhuya said "Ok YanYan. I'll leave now. I'll go and tell my parents all that what had happened. I just hope they understand me and help me out. This is my only hope."

Yan Rong got up from the sofa and patted Xu Zhuya's head and said "Ohh, c'mon Xu Zhuya. They are your parents they will help you for sure, it's okay. Don't worry. I'll cheer for you. Jiayou(1)!"

Xu Zhuya bid goodbye to Yan Rong and went towards her car. She sat in the car, took a deep breath and sped off. Meanwhile, on the way she saw a familiar car. She remembered that car. It was her brother Xuan Yu's car. She personally gifted this car to her brother on his birthday this year.

She tried to go near to his car. She tried waving at him but what she saw was that her brother was with some women who were like some interns or young girls. They were all surrounded towards him. They were trying their best to please him. The windows of the car were black but it was easy for Xu Zhuya to see because she was very near to the car.

She thought that all those rumors about her brother were fake but after seeing it by her own eyes she realized that all that was true. She felt really ashamed of her own brother. She gave one another look towards his brother and sped off.

"All men are just same..." She muttered to herself.

Xu Zhuya kept on talking to herself "Lately all weird things are happening to me. Why God? Why? What did I even do? I was having a good life, but then I got divorced. Then when I was cheered by my friend I saw my own brother with women. Is this what my life is? All this time I thought everything about my brother was fake. I always encouraged him. Helped him with money and stuff and now everything is true. Why is it happening to me God? Please forgive me for all that I have done. Just grant me a happy life. That's all I am asking from you."

After a while she reached her parents house. The gatekeeper opened the gate for her and she parked her car in the front entrance of the house and hurriedly went out of the car.

She tried to forget all that she had seen and approached the front door of the mansion with a smile. Just as she was about to knock on the door, the door opened. She saw her dad standing in front of her. He had an angry look on his face. Xu Zhuya bowed and greeted him "Good morning, Dad. How are you?"

Xu Gang looked at her with an annoyed look and stepped aside from her. Xu Zhuya noticed this and she felt that something was wrong in her family. She was about to go inside the house to call for her mom, But Xu Gang blocked her way.

"You have no right to enter this house. Don't forget your dad is still alive. Why did you come over here, huh?" She heard her father's stern words. She heard the sound of her heart breaking.

'What was this? Why is Dad saying this to me all of a sudden?' As Xu Zhuya was thinking, she heard another voice from inside.

"What are you doing talking to her, huh? You said right, you won't have any contact with her yet you still are talking to this woman who is no one to us?" It was her mother, Xiao Mei. Hearing her mother speak like this... Xu Zhuya just went broke.

She hadn't expected that her mother, the person whom she loved and respected the most would say these words... But, Why?

Xu Zhuya felt her legs lose control. She felt that she wouldn't be able to stand anymore. She started to quiver. She controlled her body and asked "Mom... Dad... What... did I do... to you? Why.. are you.. behaving like this?" She stammered and all she heard was a long narration from her father.

"Why we are behaving like this? It's because of you. You make us feel ashamed. You come now divorced, huh? You know why we got you married to him? It was a deal. He offered us a whole lot of money and helped us in avoiding our company to go bankrupt. If our company would have gone bankrupt, your dumb doctor's salary wouldn't have helped us. You only dumped yourself in the pothole. We are no more related to you now. Don't every show your face to us again. Thanks to him, even after divorce he decided to help us out till our company returns back to good condition again. You are just a failure to the family. Get lost you, Unfilial child!"
